It isn't simple to explain why he is wrong though. And getting increasingly off-topic for the group, too (although I admit, I'm partially to blame for that and I apologize for my earlier rant. I surrender all my Internet Points for the day). Unless you can point to games that use tarriffs. I think they were something levied against you in "Sid Meier's Colonization." Are they an available tool in "Victoriana" or "Hearts of Iron" or any other of Paradox's StRPatgey games?

But I'm a silly person.]
